Bioinformatics Master Education

About the education - overview

The masters programme starts with a half year with four courses in sequence analysis, biostatistics, programmimg and advanced sequence analysis (BINP11 Bioinformatics and sequence analysis, BINP12 Biostatistics, BINP13 Programming in Perl och BINP14 Large-scale sequence analysis of whole genomes, each 7,5 ECTS). The following half year contains courses in expression analysis, structural biology and a continued course in Perl-programming and database construction. bioinformatics and eligible courses. The second year contains eligible courses and projects, including a project corresponding to minimum 30 ECTS (diploma project in bioinformatics).
